Quick reference

1 m/s	3.6 km/h
100 km/h	≈62.1 mph
60 mph	≈96.6 km/h
1 knot	1.852 km/h
Mach 1	≈1225 km/h
5:00/km pace	=12 km/h
Speed of light	≈3×10⁸ m/s

Pace (min/km) is the reciprocal of speed: a smaller pace means faster running. The relationship is non-linear and is handled correctly by this converter.
